To all whom t may concern.' i

Be it known that I, ANsoN K.` Cnoss, of

'VVinthi-op' in the county of Suffolk and, State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain' new and useful Improvements in Coin and` TicketDelivery Machines and VCash-Registers,of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to coin-delivery mal chines, and its objects are:Afirst, to provide improved lmeans for delivering coins, for displayingthem' to the sight of the pur- Chaser, for indicating their value, andfor delivering them directly into his hand; second, to provide meansfoi-registering and indicating the amount of the sale; third, to

provide means to withdraw from sight both the indicating figures in thecash register and t-hose in the coin-delivery machine by the motionwhich delivers the coins to the cust-omer; fourth, to provide means fordelivering and registering tickets; fifth, to

` provide means by which the cashier may re turn the coins to hispossession; sixth, to provide means for notifying the cashier when acoin tube is empty; and seventh, to provide means for readily detacliingand replacing the coin-ejecting mechanism from -the coin-holdingmechanism. I attain these objects by the mechanism illust-rated in theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevationshowing thecoin delivery, the ticket delivery, and the cash register, from thecashiers Side.

cash register or the ticket delivery machine without the coin deliverymachine, it is not .possible to use the coin delivery machine in fPay-as-you-enter street cars and railroad oiiices, where its use is mostnecessary as a time saver for both cashier and customer, wit-houtcombining with the coin delivery machine the cash register and ticketdelivery vmachine, as all these machines combine to form one machinewhich cannot be sold or used if any of its parts are omitted.

The coin-delivery machine, lshown princi- A The rear portion of themachine is formed,

separate from the front portion and is adapted to be readily disengagedand withdrawn from the r'ont portion in order that it-s parts may bereadily inspected. The

' bottom of the rear portion is formed of the plate 18to which the sideplates 19 are secured. The plates 20, 21, 22, 23 are se-' cured to theside plates 19 and form the rear casing. The top plate 24 extends underthe cover 5. The plates 19 are flanged and project inwardly upon theplates 2, as shown in Fig. 5. A lip 20', formed upon the lower edge ofplate 20 (see Fig. 22), passes under the outer edge of the plate 1, anda spring Y catch27 engages with the upwardly projecting flange uponplate 1 and prevents the rear portion being drawn back until the catchhas been lifted.

The anges upon the plates 19 are extended centrally at 25 to engagewith-.two bosses 26. To disengage the rear portion, it is necessary tolift the catch 27, slide the rear part back until it isfree from theflange upon the plate 1 and the ilange 25 is Withdrawn from the bosses26.

A lock 27 may be provided, if desired, to prevent motion of the springcatch 27.

The cover 5 is locked by means of a hook 102 formed upon its'undersurface which engages with a pivoted catch 103. The cover is liftedbymeans of the handle-105 after the catch'103 has been revolved.

The coins are held in channels 11 which are formed of thin metal andshown in Figs. 4, 5, 2O and 21. At the bottom a thick seat 14 isprovided as a support for the coins. This seat may project below thecoin for any desired distance and have its inner outline formed to thecoin which the channel is designed to carry. I have shown the seat 14projecting one-halt inch upon the diameter of the coin, but a greater orlessdistance may be talgen as a support for the coin. The

.ing channels.

Vthe carriage consists of a plate whose upper vcentral part of this coinsupport is slotted 'eject from the coin channel by one motion ot thecoin ejector. In the case of thin coins, the cent and ten cent pieces, Iprefer to eject but one at a time, but with the thick coins, holders.may be designed to deliver more than one at each action of the ejector.The slot in the bottom of the coin channel for the passage of thecoin-ejecting finger is made with sides curving outwardly. in order thatthe finger may slip into the slot readily when the coin channel isdropped into its seat over the.tinger.- The sides of the coinholdingchannel are bent around the coins at the `base in the form of a tube,and the bottom of this front portion is cut away (as shown in Figs. 4and 21) to allow the passage of one or more coins from the holder. Atthe top the back plate. is bent forward to form the handle 17 by whichthe coin holder may be lifted.

It is evident that a machine may be provided with coin-holding chann'elsfor all the different coins in use or for asmany of them as may bedesired. In Fig. 5 I have shown one holder for coins of each of thefollowing values: one cent, five cents, twenty-five cents, fifty cents,and one dollar, and two holders for tcn-cent pieces.

Each coin-holding channel has' a strap 12 fastened to its rear surfaceand extending downward in the form of a hook 12 by means of which theholder is supported upon the flange 7 of the coin carriage 7. The upperend of the strap 12 `rojects a little distance behind the coin channeland engages with a spring 13 which serves to press the channel firmlyinto its seat and against the coin carriage.

Any coinchannel may be removed from its seat when emptied of its coinsby means ot the handle at its upper end, and replaced by a channel whichis lled with coins, or the coins may be placed in the channel while itis in its position in the machine.

By making the upper part of the coinholding channel at an angle with thelower portion, a large part of the weight of the coins is borne by thechannel, thus involving the use of less power in discharging the coinsfrom the channel. l

To facilitate the handling of the coin channels. I provide a removablecarriage 7 to hold them. This carriage consists ot a framework havingplates 8 at top and bottom-which are cut to lit about the coin-hold- Thelower front portion of surface is provided with slots 7"," see- F ig.24, adapted to receive and guide I,the 'hooks .12' to their seats 7 atthe bottoms -of'these ,slots From the top plate of the carriage, a

back of the carriage opposite each. coin channel. A groove 8 is formedin each side plate 2, and projecting guides 8 upon' the sides of thecarriage 7 fit in these grooves and .allow the carriage with all thecoin channels to be removed at' one motion.

. The coin ejector consists of a finger 34 (see Figs. 4 and 25) sobalanced'and pivoted as to bear against the under surface o`f the lowestcoin in' the coin channel. The finger bears upon its lower surfaceandrises behind the coin a distance slightly less than the full thicknessof the coin. The edge of the finger bearing on the edgeof the coin is atsuch an angle as to' tend to press the coin downward upon the finger. Incase more than one coin is desired from each motion ofthe finger, thefinger is raised to bear upon as many coins as may be desired,

and the notches infront and back of the ,coin channel are raised tocorrespond. By

extending the end of the linger and having it bear upon the undersurface of the coin,

' a more positive adjustment is possible .than

with; adjustments regulated by parts outside the vplane of the lowersurface ,of the lowest coin. The coin-expelling. finger 34 is pivotedbetween two plates 33 which are riv, eted to a finger 29 solidly fixedin a slide 31' which .is adapted to reciprocate in a groove 30 cut 1nthe upper surface of a plate 29. This plate 29 is s-upported by twoupright webs 28 extending' from the ba`se plate 18, and has a groove '30in it opposite each'coin channel. The lslides 31 move freely in thegrooves 30 and are held in place by a covering4 plate 32 suitablysecured to the plate 29. The fingers 29 depending from the slidesl movein slots 31 cut in the rear edge of the plate 29.

The forward end of the finger 29 is formed into a stop 29- adapted tohold the expelling linger 34 so that its projecting end may rest 'in theplane of the lower edge of the lowest coin. The rear portion of thefinger 34 is velevated above the pivot 34 so that the effect of movingthe finger forward is to-causeY the finger to press more closely againstthe coin to be expelled..

The rearv end of the slide 31 is slotted and within it is pivoted therod 50 which moves the slide. The' lower end of the rod 50 is pivoted tothe rod 49, which is'formed by bending sheet metal and riveting the twoparts together with a separating plate .8l between them, thus permittingthe rod 50 and the catch 78 to be pivoted between the two halves of therod 49. .The rod 49 is pivot-ally suspended by meansof an upper link 37and a lower link 38 from two rods 35 and 36 which are secured in theside plates 19. These links are each formed in 'two sections (see Figs.10 and 11) and riveted together with 'ears 37 adapte-d to fit the outersurfaces of the' rod 49, and the links are of equal length between thecenters of.

their pivots. The distance between the rods 35 and 36 is equal to thelengt-h of the rod 49 fromcenter to center, so that this-rod is adaptedto move in parallel lines. The two parts of each link 37 and 38, fittingthe rods 35 and 36, are separated far enough to hold the rod 49 in onevertical plane.` Bet-Ween the two parts forming each link 37 and 38 andabout the rods 35 and 36, springs 44 and 43 are coiled. These springshave one end bearing on the rivet'39 and the other e'nd uponithe rod 40or 41. The rods 40 and 41 are held by the side plates 19, and thesprings 43 and 44 return t-he parallel motion rod 49 and thecoin-expelling finger 34 to their original positions after they havebeen movedto expel'a coin.

A. parallel motion rod 49 is attached to every coin-expelling'slide 31.-The links 37 and 38 are kept lin position upon the rods 35 and 36 bycollars or washers placed on the rods between ,the adjacent links. InFig. 10 the links 37 and 38 and the rod 49 are shown -arranged in onestraight line, but in the machine they occupy the positions shown inFig. 4.

To move the parallel motion rods 49, I provide a set of plates havingfeet bearing on therods. Thus to give change for one dollar, it isnecessary to move all the slides except the two outer ones which delivercents and silver -dollars, and a plate must be provided with feet tobear upon the five central parallel motion rods. This plate is shown byFig. 34. To deliver a coin from any one coin channel, it is necessarytoA provide a plate with one foot bearing upon the channels at once, aplate having two feet bearing on the parallel motion rods deliveringfrom these channels must be provided, and it is only. necessary toprovide a plate for each separate coin or combination of coins that. itisdesired to discharge at one.

action.

Fig. 35 represents the parallel motion plate having one foot adapted todischarge coins from the channel holding cent pieces.

These plates may be held and moved in various ways. I prefer, however,to provide two links for each plate, and have the plates form a set ofparallel motion rods and move in planes at right angles to the parallelmot-ion rods 49 attached to the .connecting rods 50. A

A' strikcr.75 is attachedto the under side 'of the plate 97 in such a position that it rings thebell 70 100 before the catch 103 is moved away from' the hook 102. y

To lock the parallel motion rods 49 so that no coinsean be discharged bythem and so that they need not vibrate while the ma- 75 lates chine isbeing transported, I provide a bar 90 which is secured to a slide 18which is adapted to move in a dovetailed slot formed by in the bottomplate 18. A'threaded hole in Sepathe center of the bar 90 engages thebolt 91. 80

By means of the milled head 94, this bolt is turned and draws the bar 90against the lower ends of the rods 49.` Collars 92. and 93 hold the boltin the plate 20 and in the bar 90.l A lock may be provided to pre- 8 5vent motion of the bolt 91 'after ithas clamped the bars 49.

The indicator are held to the side plates 19. The lower tablets arepivotally supported upon the rod portions ot the plates 97 are providedwith (39. by having their lower edges iii the form slots 49 throughwhich the rods 49 pass. of a tube encircling the rod. vEach tabletSecured -to the top plate 97 is a bell 100 shows to the customer when ithas been 120 which is rung by the striker 100 which is lifted, one ormore large figures indicating rigidly secured to a iii-ot rod 10S.

When the slide 125 `is carried forward by a coin, it moves the itablet from the horizontal position iiito the vertical position inwhich'it is supported by means ofthe hook 58, so that, whe the l expellingfinger 34 s withdrawn from under 130 the coin, it falls into thecompartment below the slide. As the coin falls it .strikes the bell 84,which4 may vhave a different tone for each 'different value of coin themachine is adapted to hold. The rod 62 is secured within.A the twoupright flanges 1 11 which extend from each side of the plate 56,.and

machine, I prefer to use in placeof the tablets 62, the revolvingcylinder shown by Figs. 16 and 17 which is adapted to displayv indicatorfigures showing the value when.

one or more coins are consecutively discharged. The hollow cylinder 109has a spring 110 within it which is secu-red 'to the rod 62, and has abent end engaging the pin 112 which is fastened within the cylinder. Thetension of the spring is adjusted so as to return the cylinder to the4position in .which the fi ure 0 may be seen, A stop is provided to oldthe cylinder in position to show the figure 0. It consists of a pin 109which projects, far enough from the outer surface of the cvlinder toengage with the int-urned edge of the coverin plate 113. I

^ have drawn the/cylinder to isplay to both t-he customer and cashierligures from 0 to 4 inclusive. I place these figures on the lat? eralsurface of the cylinder,` the larger figures for the customer on oneside, and the smaller ones for'the cashier to read on the other side. Acovering strip 113 is pro-v avided with openings 114 and 114 (see Fig.5) through which .the figures in the cylinder may -be seen. rlhe outerbases of the cylinder are supports for five pins 115, which on the innerside are engaged-by the tripping catch 116, which is pivoted,to thefinger 117. A stop 116 keeps the' catch in position to engage the pins'115. On the outer side, the pins 115 are engaged by the ratchet 118 andthus the cylinder is held at the end of the motion communicated to it bythe slide 57. The ratchet 118 is pivotcd to the flange 111 by the pin119 which also holds a link 120, from which a pin 122 extends over therear end of the ratchet 118. The link 120 is attached at its outer endby the pin 122 to a' curved link 124 pivot-ally connected to the plate121 to which the, locking bar 63 is riveted. The plates 121 'are pivotedto the side plates 2 by the screws 123 and at their lower end by thescrews to the links 66.

The links 66 are pivotally connected to thel levers 68. The outer endsof the links 66 are bent upward and carry friction rollers 67.

` When the coin has carried the slide 57 far enough to move the cylinderone fifth around, it is 'held in this position'by the ratchet 118 whilethe slidel 57 dischar es the coin upon it by means ofthe pivote lever125 which is held between two uprights 126 rising from the end of theslide 57 and kept in position to support the coin by means of a spring127 secured to the top of the uprights 126. A stop 128 projects from theplate 574 and revolves the lever 125 so that the coin falls from theseat at theend of the lever 125.

The coins discharged are supported in sight of the customer upon thedisplay plate 106 where they are separated by means of partitions 83which are secured to a plate 82 which is supported at an angle by theupturned edge of the bottom plate 1.

'A rod 87 (see Fig. 13) attached by the pivot 58 to the end of thefinger 58 is con- 1` nected to the lever 88 (Figs. L1 andll which issecured by the pivot 128 extending' be- .A tween the plates 138.` One ofthese leversv .88 may be provided for each coin-discharging channel,slots in the bottom plates 1 and 18 being provided for the levers 88 toent-er the plates. By means of the ratchet 129 and ratchet wheel 130 andmeter 131, the coins discharged may be registered if desired.

In order to deliver tickets with the coins when the. ticket-deliverymachine is not combined with the coin-delivery machine, I cut a slotthrough the right side plate 2 and place a chute 130 outside this slotandcontinue the chute inside the outer partition 83 inclosing the spacefor silver dollars.

To give notice when all coins have been discharged from the coinholders, I pivotunder each, a finger 85 adapted to rise within the coinholder through the slot 131 (Figs. 5 and 20) cut in the bottom of theholder. This finger is pivoted tothe partition 83 and extends outsidethe partition above a frame-work consisting of a horizon- `tal bar 85 atthe top and a ,rod 86 at the bottom connecting the two side pieces 86which are so pivoted by means of straps 82 to the under side of theplate 82 that the weight of the finger 85 upon the bar 85 depresses itfar enough to cause the finger 85 which extends downward from theerossbar 85' to come in contact with the two ends of the wires 132 and132. These wires are insulated by the rubber block 133 holding themabove the base plate 1 and by the rubber socket 133 holding the wires-in t-he side plate 2. To the ends 132 and 132 wires connected withabattery and electric bell 214 placed at any convenient distance outsidethe machine are connected, and, when the circuit is closed by thedepression of the finger 85, notice is given that one of the employ achute 133 whose lower end is adapted to fit the palm of the hand. Thischute is firmly secured to a frame 134 adapt-I ed to reciprocatesupported by its extremities 135, which ti in the side plates 2. Theupper edge of the frame 134 conforms to the shape of -t-he chute 137which consists ofa plate'set at an angle and rmly secured to the sideplates' 138. At the tops, these side plates have inturned anges 138 bymeans of which the plates 138 are lsecured to the bottom 'plate 1. Theto of the opening in thechute 137 is covered y 'a horizontal strip 139serving as a support and protection to the under edge of the glass plate4 which continues below the delivery machine and covers the space infront of the chute. This' jstri 139 is the upper edge o f a plate 140whic is fastened to the bottom of the chuteand to the side plates 138.The chute 133 is suspended by means of afriction roller 140 which is-pivoted at the back end ofarms 141 extending from a plate 142 which isscrewed to the frame 134. This roller fits within a curved slot cut inthe lower end of a leve'r 143 which is-pivoted within ears 144 dependingfrom the chute 137.

. The upper end 'of the lever 143 is pivoted to a link 145, and theupper end of this vlink is pivoted between ears 146 projecting from theunder side of the display plate 106. Ehe weight of this plate and of thereciprocating arts 133 and 134 thus serve to balance eac other, and theweightslmay Y beso adjusted that the display platewill normally remainin a horizontal position. Lifting the chute 133 will depress the plate106 and cause coins and'ticlrets `upon it to fall into the hand.

Various connections between the chute 133N and the locking bar 63 may beemployed. I have shown a lever 68 pivoted at each side to the plate 138and a friction roller 147 pivoted between the lower ends of the levers68 and held slightly behind the link 145. 1

Two springs 76, attached to the pins l77 and to the links 66, serve tokeep the lockin bar 63 in a horizontal position withv su cient tensionto keep the indicator cards 62 in a vertical position. Then the chute133 is lifted, it moves the lever 118, and thus dro s the bar 63 andreleases the hooks58'.

he display plate and delivery chute may be made and used without thecoin-delivery mechanism, the change and tickets being Aslid by thecashier upon the `plate and taken by the customer by lifting the chuteor by [sliding the change into his hand over the front edge of thedisplay plate as he prefers. To prevent the discharge of coins when thedisplay plate 106 is dropped, I providev a bar crossing the rear part of the delivery machine and having a vertical surface 73.

This bar is pivotally supported by two levers 69A which may be formed inone t the vertical grooves 136] If it is desired, each parallel mot-ionmay be locked after is has discharged once by screwing to the upper endof the striker- 7 8 a catch 79 adapted to hook over theed'ge of the bar73. These catches 79 may he. readily secured to the plate forming the*striker and as readily detached in case more desired.

To enable the cashier to-return the coins than one mot-ion fromeachfpush buttonis i' upon the display plate to his own charge,v areturn. chute 148 is provided -(Figs. 141,-. and 15), which is formed byfastening a...-. sheet ofmetal to the side plates 138 by thepj- U rivetsor screws 149-. This plate has its-1'" lower end bound withV a metalbandA 150 'to which is adjustedv a glass cover 151. This coverV i's heldby the frame 152 extending upward from the delivery tube. 153. This tubeis held by an encircling band-154. To

this band',"the arm 155 is attached, and its. upper end is ivotedbetween the ears 156-' which extend elow the plate 1 57 which` 'is'secured to the lower side of the/chute 148.',4`4`

The glass. cover 151 tends by gravity toi close the opening in thechute, and,y when thetube 153 is lifted,'the c'oins fall 'into the hand.To conduct the coins into the chute 148, a movable chute 158 isemployed.

-This chute is suspended from the pivot" 159 by ears 160 extending abovethe edges of the chute, The pivot 159 passes through blocks 161 attachedto'tubes 162 which slide` upon rods 163 supported by hangers 164,

fastened to the side plates 138. A connect4 ing plate 165 yokes thetubes 162 together. Springs '-166 attached to the tubes 162 andto theside plates 138 vkeep the chute-158 be? hind the chute 133. v

The rear Aend of the' chute 158 is sup-` ported by a band 167 whose endsare con-- struoted to support the handle 1,68 by which the cashier firstmoves the chute 158 forwardas far astit will go, andvthen, by'depressing the handle 168, lifts the chute 133 and causes thecoinsitoroll back to the cashier.

It is evident that thechutes and delivery' tubes shown may be used withadvantage in many of the automatic machines new 1n A.

use, and I do not restrict myself to the use of the mechanism in simplythe coin machine I have shown'.

The cash registering mechanism is at the I left in Fig. 1 and consistsof suitable plates 168,169, 17 0, 171, 172,- forming a case whichproject from lthe base` of eac 4The bottom of the cash register is alsosupis secured to that of the coindelivery maf chine. In practice, preferto cut the lower machine, shown in Fig. 1, into the counter so that thecoin-delivering machine may rest upon the counter upon the flan es 173which side plate.

ported by the counter.

The side plates 169 and 172 are provided with square holes to receivethe ends of the rod 173 which serves as a fulcrum for the five levers174 which fit loosely uponit and aga-.inst each other. Outside of theselevers and fitting against them are two arms 175 17 6 which havesecuredin 4their upper ends the rod 177 which is parallel to therod 173and in front of the five levers 174. The two arms 175 176 are rigidlyyoked together by -a connecting plate 175 fastened between them andextending through both arms'. Outside the two arms 175 and 176 'andWorking freely vupon the shaft-173 are two .1evers.178 179 whose outerends-are secured to the rod 180.

To display the amount of the sale I provide 'a drum 181 which is adaptedto revolve upon theshaft 173 and .has upon -its curved surface two setsof figures, one Vset for the cashier and th ther set for the custemer.To revolve tldrum, I secure to its side plate 181 a rate et wheel 182having fifty teeth which are engaged by the ratchet 183 which is fastupon the end of the rod 177. When one of the levers 174 is drawn down,it carries the rod 177 with it and revolves the ratchet wheel and drumattached to it. The levers y174 move in slots of such length hat theyarev respectively adapted to register the sale 'of one, two, three, fouror five tickets. The ratchet wheelx182 is prevented from motion exceptin one direction ,by the pawl 184 whichis pivoted to the support 185.The motion of each of the levers 174 may be adjusted by the screws 186placed at each end of each slot.

The drum 181 has within it a spring 187,

one end of which is fastened to the shaft 173 by the screw 188, andtheother 'end of the spring is bent so as lto'engage with the pin 189 which4is held Within the drum by having its ends fitted to two holesfin thebase plates of the drum. The tension of the spring is sufiicient torevolve the drum when it is freed from the ratchets, so that the stop190 secured to the drum will cause the drum -to stop with the figures 0visible" plate 169. The levers 178 and 179 have. their .rear ends in theform of weights to v'co\1nter.-

balance in part the rod 180 and. the link 194.` The weights of theseparts are so adjusted that the lever 178 will normally re- Fig. 26'. Tokeep it from going. below this 'W0 i turn to the position in which 1t 1sshown 1n position, a supporting shelf 195 is formed upon the upright185.

The pawl 184 hasa l51015184 in its 1re-arA u end adaptedto receivezthepin 194" whichprojects from the upper end of the link 194 The link194,Lvis fitted to turn freely upon the rod 180, and', when this rod islifted, it moves the pawl 184 from the -ratchet wheel 182. 'Io liftthero'd 180, a

pin 197 is fitted to the link 192 .so as to ent gage in a slot 196 cutin the rear end of `the When the link 192 is moved the rod 177 an arln200 adapted to bear upon Vthe under surface of the pin 201 which profastwithin the ratchet 183 andthe arm 200, and free to revolve within thearms 175 176, when the pin 201 is lowered, the ratchet will be liftedfrom its wheel, 'and both ratchet jects from theilink 193. The rod 177being and paWl are thus released by the action'of the coin-deliverymachine in discharging coins from its display plate to the customer.

To return the arms 175 176 after'they have been lowered by the action ofany arm 174,

springs 202 are secured to the arms and t9" the back casing.

To register the total amount indicated by the action of the variouslevers 174, a meter is provided. It is .operated by a ratchet wheel203which is secured upon a sleeve 204 fitting loosely upon the shaft 173."T iis ratchet has the saine number of teeth as t e one upon theindicator drum. 205 1s pivoted to the side of the drum 181 A ratchet iand kept upon the wheel by the spring 206 A which is also secured to theside of the drum.

AA pawl 207, pivoted to a support 208 rising from the hase plate 168,prevents retrograde motion. The slee-ve 204 has upon ita double wormthread 209 which operates the worm gear, 210 attached to the shaft 210bearing the various meter wheels. 'I prefer to useand have indicatedsimply the form of meter known as the crown straight reading registermade by the National Meter Company.

In a later application, I intend tohow the means by which this meter maybe released from the worm gear, and its wheels all turned to show'theligure 0, in order that the meter may be readily set back to O whendesired. When there is room, I prefer to make the casing of the registerenough wider to allow the meter shaft tol beplaced horizon tally, as inthe meter shown in lilies.' 30 and g1.

It is evident that various modiidations of the construction shown may bemade Without departing from the spirit'of my invention, and I do notlimit myself to the exact construction shown;

By adding another indicating cylinder with meter and with operatinglevers, it will be possible to indicate and register for generalpurposes instead of for, the special purpose of live cent sales and thesmaller multiples of five, which are generally required where livesce'ntfares are collected, and Ido not limit myself to the register with onlyone indicating cylinder.

To deliver tickets from a roll of tickets in,

strip form, I provide the machine shown in elevation in the upper righthand part/ of Fig. 1. A1n it a base plate 211 is secured to side plates212, 213 and to the rear late 214. Plates 215, 216 and 217 cover theront. and top. The operating mechanism is similar to that in the' cashregister. Secured in the side plates 212, 213 is the pivot rod 218 whichserves as a fulcrum for the ivelevers 219 whose. hubs lit looselyagainst each other. Outside these levers 219- are two arms 220, 221which fit loosely upon the rod 21S. These arms are fastened at theirtops to the rod 222 which is normally against the front'edges of thelevers 219. A spring 223 is attached to the arm 221 and to the uppercasing to keep the arms in an upright position. A ratchet 224 is pivotedat the end of the rod in position to engage with the ratchet wheel .225below the ratchet. The ratchet is kept in action with the teeth of theratchet wheel by means of a spring 224 which is secured to the underside' of the ratchet and to the hub of the arm 221. The wheel is fastupon the sleeve 226 which [its loosely' upon the pivot rod 218. Thewheel 225 is also engaged by the pawl 22T which is'pivoted upon the stud229 projecting from the plate 213. Beside the wheel is a gear 22S tastupon the sleeve 225'. The ratchet wheel and `ear both have titty teeth.

Above and behind the lower pivot rod is a pivot 230 projecting from theplate 213, and upon this a sleeve 231 lits loosely carrying a pinionwith ten teeth engaging the gear 22S. The sleeve 231 also bears a gear233 with titty teeth which engages with a pinion 235 with ten teeth,which is carried upon the pivot 235 projecting from the plate 213. Thepinion 235 and gear 234 revolve together and drive the gear 236 which isfast upon the shaft 237 which extends across the top of the machine. Theshaft 237 has secured to it the roller 238. 1n the same horizontal planeas the roller 238 and back of it,

a second roller 239 of the same size is placed in horizontal grooves 240cut in the side plate' 212 and the covering plate 240. Curved straps 241encircle the ends 242 of the roller 239. Sprngs243 attached to the.

vided to adjustthe motions of the levers at,

both'ends of each slot. The length of the shortest slot is such that',when the lever marked 1 is moved, it causes therolls 238,

239 to deliver just oneticke't from thevstrip 239. The levers marked11,111l IV, V are' adj usted t'o deliver `two, 'three,four and livetickets. More than ve tickets may be delivered by repeating the actionofthe delivery levers. The weights forming the lower -portions ofthelevers 219 serve 'to returnthem to the upperends of their slots'. Tocut.

the tickets from the strip, a knife 248 is secured toa horizont .arm 249which su ported bytheuprght arms 250 -upon e pivot rod 251'. .This rodis held by the uprights 252 252 which rise from thebase plate 211 on theouter sides'of the arms 250.

i To move the knife, astriker 252 is provided upon the arm 250a'dj'oinin the rs. Upon the face of the gear 233 ve friction rollers 253iare placed upon studs projectin from the gear far enough so that the roers engage the striker 252 andA cause the knife tov move five timesevery time the gear revolves; The edge of 'the knife' blldexis adaptedto act with the lowerside of the i upper chute 254 as a pair of -shearstocleanl cutthe ticket.- The chute 254 is held by a projecting lipupon-the upper edgeof the lower chute 255 and also by screws upon theupper plate 217. .The lower chute 255 is adapted to convey the ticketscut off by the knife to the chute 13() in the coin-delivery machinebelow. It is fastened to the back plate 214 and to .the side plate 212by screws. Its upper edge is notched to receive ,the knife arm and thesides of the notch serve as stops tothe arm in its motions both ways., Aspring 256 is attached to the arm 250 and to an upright stud 257 towithdraw the knife after it has cut olf a ticket.

The pinion 236 has a pin 258 projecting from its surface and adapted tomove one tooth of the ratchet wheel 259. This ratchet wheel operates thespindle 260 upon which the disks forming the meter 261` are carried.
